How To Apply

Our Letter of Inquiry submission period is now closed.
Our next submission period will open on July 25, 2019.

General Application Information:

We have developed a Grant Qualification Assessment tool to help you determine if your organization would be a good fit for our grants. Please take the Assessment before you request our support.

Any organization considering a grant application should first submit a Letter of Inquiry (LOI) to us as described below.

All organizations, including those that have received funding from us in the past, must submit LOIs if they want to be considered for funding.

Letters of Inquiry and Full Proposals should be submitted using the LiveImpact grant management system. Click here for instructions.

We are using the LiveImpact grant management system in order to improve our efficiency and to enhance our ability to respond to grant requests accurately and in a timely manner. We no longer accept LOIs by email. If you have technical difficulties submitting your Letter of Inquiry please contact the technical support system as described in your acknowledgement email or email info@tombergphilanthropies.org .
